As a mental health therapist, I work with individuals who are navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the impacts of stress on daily functioning. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected, and are simply looking for a safe place to talk and be heard. I strive to meet each person where they are and help them identify their needs, build healthier coping strategies, and gain greater clarity and confidence. My goal is to support you in developing a stronger sense of self so you can move forward with renewed purpose and hope.

Whether you were prepared for what happened, you’re hurting right now and its a good thing to reach out. Perhaps your life has turned upside down, throwing you into shock or numbness. You’re overcome with many emotions: confusion, anger, deep sadness. And if you have kids, you’re having to shoulder their grief, too. It’s heartbreaking, frustrating, and overwhelming. When you’re untethered from the world you used to know, it can feel impossible to get your bearings. Some days, even getting out of bed feels like a herculean task. Life is out of control, and you need help to find your center and a “new normal.”

Life is hard, finding a therapist shouldn't be. Choose me when you want your child to be understood as more than a diagnosis or label. I take a relational approach to help your child feel seen, heard, and understood for the unique individual they are. And I walk alongside you, as the parent, with empathy and compassion to support you with the challenges of parenting. Let's face it, being a parent isn't always easy. And when your child is struggling it can feel overwhelming.

My approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are, and not where I or they think they should be. I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

My approach is client-centered and collaborative, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own story. I use evidence-based tools to help people heal their relationships with food and body while cultivating self-trust.

My clients come to me with a myriad of issues that have been impacting their quality of life and functioning. Many struggle with everyday issues of stress related conditions, including trauma related issues, and other depressed and anxious moods causing them to feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and with panic attacks. These overwhelming intense emotions cause a disruption in their lives, making it difficult to achieve day to day life functions, and make simple decisions about how to move forward in their lives. These patterns of intrusive thoughts and emotions is what leads them to therapy, and where I am able to help them.
